Just to add that I never had noticed this before, except today, after installing eclipse (from the eclipse site and installed in my home directory) and "toying" around with it some time.
After closing it (and the CPU settled down because I don't have enough memory nor CPU for eclipse) that's when I noticed the CPU constant usage at 30-40%. My machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 512MB -- gam_server consumes lots of cpu time https://launchpad.net/bugs/36581 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
